Girls, Girls, Girls - Tough Day for Fritzy

Girls, Girls, Girls 

If only Chrissy Teigen hadn't coached
Hannah she would have been this
relaxed on the show

First up: Hannah Davis, guarded and not very forth coming when it came to Derek Jeter which makes it frustrating for everyone – Dan, Danettes, Hannah and the audience.  Best part of her interview wasn’t her, it was the Danettes mocking model walks.  Good thing little Casey wasn’t in the competition.  Skater boys know how to move the hips. Too bad, so sad.

Chrissy always poppin'
when she visits

Next up: One of our faves, Chrissy Teigen who had her fiancé’, John Legend came along for the ride and acted as her wardrobe consultant.  Funny and irreverent, she always fits into the show.  Chrissy can come back any time. Chrissy has a show coming up on Wednesday, February 13th, 10 pm on the Cooking Channel: Chrissy Teigan’s Hungry.  Love the title, and John says she can cook, for real.  If there were a charity raffle drawing to be the “pepperoni” police at the SI swimsuit photo shoots, would you buy a raffle ticket?  If pepperoni is the call out word for a nip slip, what cutesy food word should they use during a photo shoot for a slip of the lower area?  Sounds like they could use some suggestions over at SI.  Did anyone happen to notice that Fritzy’s favorite pizza topping is pepperoni?  Just sayin’.

Lucky #10, AJ McCarron

Finally:  Katherine Webb - sweet, open to Q/A, she can come back anytime too.  You can tell Katherine has gone to a lot of Bama football games, as she was leaving Dan at the desk, she reached over to give him a high five with a woven finger grasp.  Dan reciprocated, surgerized shoulder and all, for the pretty girl.  She also appreciated McLovin’s Bama bang attempt when he finger combed his bangs forward and spit in his hands to stick his hair to his forehead making a “good effort” in achieving the look.

    Tough Day for Fritzy

Did Todd think the more of this
he put on the closer he looked to this?

What a waste of all that Cool Water cologne Fritzy slathered on.  The SI memo of don’ts that Dan read off to the gang this morning slowed Fritzy down, but didn’t stop him.  He got his normal hug time from repeat visitor, Chrissy Teigen. He got a half hearted, one arm, pat on back, turning and looking to the side hug from Katherine Webb and nothing at all from Hannah Davis.  One and a half for three.  He should take the 50% and run with it considering he could have gone o’fer.  Dude, less creep factor history = more opportunities in the future.

No More Movie Reviews for You 

View at your own risk

Have you ever followed the recommendation of someone you trusted and the recommendation was bad?  That’s what happened to DP over the weekend.  He followed Paulie’s recommendation to watch In Bruges.  It was two hours of DP’s life he’ll never get back.  Paulie thought Dan didn’t appreciate the movie because of the pain, the meds and not being able to have a beer or two with the movie.  Now it’s not that DP didn’t try to sneak a beer in a different part of the basement this weekend, but his wife had his daughters trained well and Molly was on top of her game ratting dad out when he tried.  Too bad he doesn’t have draft audible ale installed. So what happens to Paulie for this bad recommendation?  It went out to the audience to send in titles of bad movies and Paulie will need to watch one.  Hmmm.

Don’t Be a Creep

Congrats Kate !
Much better pic than 2012

SI swimsuit models in the NYC man cave Tuesday.  SI has concerns, of course, with Fritzy’s creepiness and rightfully so after Fritzy’s past and most recent behavior.  Current ground rules: Only a three second hug, no lower back touching, no sounds when he hugs, no elevator eyes.  Surely more rules will be established, as their appearance time grows nearer.  Let’s face it, Fritzy has had some pretty awkward conversations with pretty women.  Maybe he needs a conversation time limit like he has a box time limit with his timer or maybe a conversation chaperone.  Just feel bad for Katherine Webb and Hannah Davis that they have to fear appearing in person on the show because of the creep factor.  Remember what happened with Brooklyn Decker and then the aftermath with her father?  Fritzy’s one liners need to be approved by Paulie before they’re said.  You know Fritzy won’t adhere to that policy and try to slip one in, so to speak.  Will there be a wheel of punishment if Fritzy misbehaves?  Stay tuned!

Boys Night Out in NYC

Did they partake or pass?

Now the last time that DP picked up the tab for dinner for five it was a thousand dollars.  What?!?  Dan, if you’re seeking dinner company that won’t jack your credit card, feel free to give me a call.  So they were tossing around the idea of having oysters in the village which Seton was stoked about.  Really? Oysters in NYC?  Hope they went home last night to the wives.  Otherwise it was probably pay per view in the room.  Dan could have taken up McLovin on his offer to come to his place.  Oh, no.  Can’t do that, sorry.  DP would have seen the girls and wanted to pick them up and give McLovin’s wife a hug.  Shoulder surgery.  Remember?  Dodge a bullet once again. To be continued.

Let's Go Surfing!

No, no!  Up in the air above the masses!

The sharp dressed men Friday upset Dan’s mom.  She thought they were dressed like pall-bearers because it was DP’s surgery day and the fun everyone had made about Dan’s surgery on Thursday.  Nope, not dressed in funeral clothes, just paying off a bet they made with Chris Mannix.  They boys actually looked really good and brought the show to a different level with their “casual Friday”.  Casual Friday should occur more often.  Would Dan have any of the Danettes be his pall-bearers?  Nope.  Seton would be drunk, Paulie would make it all about him, Fritzy would injure himself and need surgery, McLovin wouldn’t show as there would be no reason to suck up to Dan anymore.  Who would DP want as pall-bearers?  He’d want the shorties to do the honor so he could hear their tears hit the top of his casket.  Maybe he should do what Bryant Gumble does, pick and notify his pall-bearers now and update the list as time goes on.  Maybe a little mash pit casket surfing so everyone can get one last hand on the Dan man.

#SickLovin

Do you see McLovin's two little girls
under there anywhere?

If you’re a fan of The Dan Patrick Show, then you admire the turn of a word. Yes, McLovin, true to his word, decided not to come in today although he was able to do what he does on the show at home – sit in a chair and watch Dan. The email he sent to Dan the night before explaining his absence today even included the word cough in parenthesis. Really?!? He did call in to gain sympathy. None given. He was actually doing the show a favor by staying home today. A little return to the way things used to be before he joined the show was a breath of freshness. He vowed to Dan that he’ll be in tomorrow.  Do you think McLovin is as dramatic at home 
as he is on the show?  Heaven help his wife if he is.

New Stuff in the Man Cave

Thank you Red Hook - The tap for Dan and the Danettes new ale is sick!

Sick as in rad, not sick as in McLovin.

Sweet !

Bam! Nice combo piece – South Carolina’s Jadeveon Clowney’s gloves and chin strap worn at the time of "the hit" in the Outback Bowl. No word from Michigan if Vincent Smith will be sending in the same items for a matched set.

Socks are the thing – Marcus Lattimore sent in a grouping: socks, a headband and his gear bag from his last healthy game at South Carolina.

The collection of random memorabilia continues to entertain us all.

Yummy Bowl of Skittles

I like the green ones

Back in the eighties, Dan visited the clubhouse of a National League team. On a table, out in the open, in a side room to the main lockerroom was a fish bowl of what appeared to be something candy like, like Skittles, M&Ms or Jolly Ranchers where you could just reach in and grab a handful. When Dan asked "What's this?", he learned that it was actually a bowl of "greenies" a.k.a. amphetamines available for open consumption. Alright, he got it.  They're not legal, but it wasn't something that was going to change your physical appearance.  They were considered more of a temporary alertness helper.  Is that any worse than what you may find in a clubhouse today – Red Bull, Monster, 5 Hour Energy or any of the other "pick me ups" anyone can buy anywhere? Just asking.

           Chris in Syracuse

Hope things work out for you soon!

You’ve asked before, and here’s the latest: Paulie was in contact with Chris. He’s got stuff going on at home but he’s doing ok. He’s listening, but can’t take part in the show. Dan, the Danettes and everyone concerned will be happy to have him back when he’s able. Miss you Chris! 



Mothership Miss

The good, the bad, it's ugly

To no surprise, ESPN got it wrong again.  They issued an apology to Katherine Webb for what Brent Musburger said during the BCS Championship game when she didn’t expect or want one.  Yet when Steven A. Smith uses a racial slur on air there’s no apology.  Continue on with your inconsistent consistency.
